Speaking to Fox News, Vance said, “We are concerned about any time when nuclear powers collide and have a major conflict. We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can’t control these countries, as India has its gripes with Pakistan and Pakistan has responded to India.”
Reacting to the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, US Vice President JD Vance on Thursday said, the India-Pakistan conflict is ‘fundamentally none of our business’. Vance further said that the conflict has ‘nothing to do with America’s ability to control it’.
Speaking to Fox News, Vance said, “We are concerned about any time when nuclear powers collide and have a major conflict. We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can’t control these countries, as India has its gripes with Pakistan and Pakistan has responded to India.”
“What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate, but we are not going to get involved in the middle of a war that is fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it,” he added.
Vance’s statement comes a day after President Donald Trump called the escalating tensions between the two countries ‘terrible’. When asked about his position, the POTUS added that he ‘gets along with both.’
